My Project

Welcome to our Classroom Bank, where students can earn, save, and spend Class dollars! In our classroom economy, students have the opportunity to earn Class dollars in several ways. They can complete jobs around the classroom, participate in activities, or even excel in their work. Once they earn money, they can use it to purchase fun items in our classroom store, which might include school supplies, treats, or fun privileges!

But it’s not all about earning – students also need to pay rent for their space in the classroom, just like in the real world.

Rent is due weekly, and it's important to manage their money wisely to stay ahead.

This system helps teach financial literacy, responsibility, and the importance of budgeting. Students can also learn about saving and spending wisely as they work toward their goals. It’s a fun way to introduce real-world concepts into our classroom while encouraging positive behaviors and teamwork!
